A local nursing home bought one of these several years ago.  They really
enjoy it, and it is great for them.

I've had the privilege of servicing it since it was new.  It needed lots of
regulation the first couple times.

Also, a number of notes wouldn't play when using the player.  I had to tear
apart the player mechanism.  The builders had left a protective plastic
strip inside one aluminum deck.  This piece of plastic created some
unwanted air channels which prevented the development of proper localized
suction.  The removal of the plastic solved the problem, and I had the
privilege of seeing the insides of the mechanism.

The company was very nice to work with on that project.
